The leader of Italy’s anti-establishment 5-Star Movement on Wednesday appealed to the far-right League to drop its insistence that euroskeptic economist Paolo Savona should be economy minister in a government of the two parties.
League leader Matteo Salvini, however, said he hoped to form a government with the M5S but rejected the M5S‘s idea of moving Savona. He said he wanted „the same team“ and that Di Maio had agreed that Savona was the best man for the job of representing the government‘s economic position in Brussels.

European People‘s Party (EPP) leader Manfred Weber has reportedly said the 5-Star Movement and the League, who look set to form a coalition government in Italy, are taking huge risks with the policies they are proposing.
